From former Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michael Rupert comes some new
evidence, which can aid the stopping of years of suffering (war announced to continue
to 2011) and mass-acre, if integrated and shared, and further investigated and hyperlinked
with coherent compassionate intelligence. Never limit yourself to this being part
of the complete picture, I can tell you from the enormous research, introspection
and coherent investigation and inquiry, what is presently in exposition is the very
tip of the MAJI IntelligenCIA involved, which utilise some of the most advanced technologies
in all fields, so as to perhaps be beyond the imaginations of most persons.

With humour, Uncertainty Principle, Direct Knowing (post-quantum mechanics wise,
see http://www.stardrive.org), and most importantly practical compassion, we can
soon dance and celebrate such secrets into relinquished purification, by the emergence
of the unified mind of our plural universal species, through all parallel quantum
and post-parallel quantum universe and multiversal versions of ourselves, and Beyond,

FTW, October 9, 2001 - Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media,
there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets
indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which
has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options"
on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number
three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Until 1997
A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard had been Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown.
A.B. Brown was acquired by Banker«'s Trust in 1997. Krongard then became, as part
of the merger, Vice Chairman of Banker«'s Trust-AB Brown, one of 20 major U.S. banks
named by Senator Carl Levin this year as being connected to money laundering. Krongard«'s
last position at Banker«'s Trust (BT) was to oversee "private client relatio
ns." In this capacity he had direct hands-on relations with some of the wealthiest
people in the world in a kind of specialized banking operation that has been identified
by the U.S. Senate and other investigators as being closely connected to the laundering
of drug money.

Krongard (re?) joined the CIA in 1998 as counsel to CIA Director George Tenet.
He was promoted to CIA Executive Director by President Bush in March of this year.
BT was acquired by Deutsche Bank in 1999. The combined firm is the single largest
bank in Europe.¬Š And, as we shall see, Deutsche Bank played several key roles
in events connected to the September 11 attacks.

THE SCOPE OF KNOWN INSIDER TRADING Before looking further into these relationships
it is necessary to look at the insider trading information that is being ignored
by Reuters, The New York Times and other mass media. It is well documented that the
CIA has long monitored such trades - in real time - as potential warnings of terrorist
attacks and other economic moves contrary to U.S. interests. Previous stories in
FTW have specifically highlighted the use of Promis software to monitor such trades.

It is necessary to understand only two key financial terms to understand the significance
of these trades, "selling short" and "put options".

"Selling Short" is the borrowing of stock, selling it at current market
prices, but not bei ng required to actually produce the stock for some time. If the
stock falls precipitously after the short contract is entered, the seller can then
fulfill the contract by buying the stock after the price has fallen and complete
the contract at the pre-crash price. These contracts often have a window of as long
as four months.

"Put Options," are contracts giving the buyer the option to sell stocks
at a later date. Purchased at nominal prices of, for example, $1.00 per share, they
are sold in blocks of 100 shares. If exercised, they give the holder the option of
selling selected stocks at a future date at a price set when the contract is issued.
Thus, for an investment of $10,000 it might be possible to tie up 10,000 shares of
United or American Airlines at $100 per share, and the seller of the option is then
obligated to buy them if the option is executed. If the stock has fallen to $50 when
the contract matures, the holder of the option can purchase the shares for $50 and
immediately sell them for $100 - regardless of where the market then stands. A call
option is the reverse of a put option, which is, in effect, a derivatives bet that
the stock price will go up.

A September 21 story by the Israeli Herzliyya International Policy Institute for
Counterterrorism, entitled "Black Tuesday: The World«'s Largest Insider Trading
Scam?" documented the following trades connected to the September 11 attacks:

Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of
4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options« Assuming that 4,000
of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks,
these "insiders" would have profited by almost $5 million.

On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago
exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify
this imbalance. Again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent "insiders,"
they would represent a gain of about $4 million.

The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than
normal. No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in
the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.,
which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its October $45
put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday; this compares
to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanley«'s share
price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000
of these options contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks,
their purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million. Merrill Lynch &
Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 12,215 October $45 put
options bought in the four trading days before the attacks; the previous average
volume in those shares had been 252 contracts per day [a 1200% increase!]. When trading
resumed, Merrill«'s shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming that 11,000 option
contracts were bought by "insiders," their profit would have been about
$5.5 million. European regulators are examining trades in Germany«'s Munich Re, Switzerland«'s
Swiss Re, and AXA of France, all major reinsurers with exposure to the Black Tuesday
disaster. [FTW Note: AXA also owns more than 25% of American Airlines stock making
the attacks a "double whammy" for them.]

On September 29, 2001 - in a vital story that has gone unnoticed by the major
media - the San Francisco Chronicle reported, "Investors have yet to collect
more than $2.5 million in profits they made trading options in the stock of United
Airlines before the Sept. 11, terrorist attacks, according to a source familiar with
the trades and market data.

"The uncollected money raises suspicions that the investors - whose identities
and nationalities have not been made public - had advance knowledge of the strikes."
They don't dare show up now. The suspension of trading for four days after the attacks
made it impossible to cash-out quickly and claim the prize before investigators started
looking.

October series options for UAL Corp. were purchased in highly unusual volumes
three trading days before the terrorist attacks for a total outlay of $2,070; investors
bought the option contracts, each representing 100 shares, for 90 cents each. [This
represents 230,000 shares]. Those options are now selling at more than $12 each.
There are still 2,313 so-called "put" options outstanding [valued at $2.77
million and representing 231,300 shares] according to the Options Clearinghouse Corp."

The source familiar with the United trades identified Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown,
the American investment banking arm of German giant Deutsche Bank, as the investment
bank used to purchase at least some of these options. This was the operation managed
by Krongard until as recently as 1998.

As reported in other news stories, Deutsche Bank was also the hub of insider trading
activity connected to Munich Re. just before the attacks. ¬Š CIA, THE BANKS AND
THE BROKERS

Understanding the interrelationships between CIA and the banking and brokerage
world is critical to grasping the already frightening implications of the above revelations.
Let«'s look at the history of CIA, Wall Street and the big banks by looking at some
of the key players in CIA«'s history. Clark Clifford - The National Security Act
of 1947 was written by Clark Clifford, a Democratic Party powerhouse, former Secretary
of Defense, and one-time advisor to President Harry Truman. In the 1980s, as Chairman
of First American Bancshares, Clifford was instrumental in getting the corrupt CIA
drug bank BCCI a license to operate on American shores. His profession: Wall Street
lawyer and banker.

¬Š John Foster and Allen Dulles - These two brothers "designed"
the CIA for Clifford. Both were active in intelligence operations during WW II. Allen
Dulles was the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland where he met frequently with Nazi leaders
and looked after U.S. investments in Germany. John Foster went on to become Secretary
of State under Dwight Eisenhower and Allen went on to serve as CIA Director under
Eisenhower and was later fired by JFK. Their professions: partners in the most powerful
- to this day - Wall Street law firm of Sullivan, Cromwell.

Bill Casey - Ronald Reagan«'s CIA Director and OSS veteran who served as chief
wrangler during the Iran-Contra years was, under President Richard Nixon, Chairman
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His profession: Wall Street lawyer and
stockbroker.

David Doherty - The current Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange for
enforcement is the retired General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency.

George Herbert Walker Bush - President from 1989 to January 1993, also served
as CIA Director for 13 months from 1976-7. He is now a paid consultant to the Carlyle
Group, the 11th largest defense contractor in the nation, which also shares joint
investments with the bin Laden family. A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard - The current
Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is the former Chairman of the
investment bank A.B. Brown and former Vice Chairman of Banker«'s Trust.

John Deutch - This retired CIA Director from the Clinton Administration currently
sits on the board at Citigroup, the nation«'s second largest bank, which has been
repeatedly and overtly involved in the documented laundering of drug money. This
includes Citigroup«'s 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank known to launder drug money,
Banamex.

Nora Slatkin - This retired CIA Executive Director also sits on Citibank«'s board.
Maurice "Hank" Greenburg - The CEO of AIG insurance, manager of the third
largest capital investment pool in the world, was floated as a possible CIA Director
in 1995. FTW exposed Greenberg«'s and AIG's long connection to CIA drug trafficking
and covert operations in a two-part series that was interrupted just prior to the
attacks of September 11. AIG«'s stock has bounced back remarkably well since the
attacks. To read that story, please go to http://www.copvcia.com/stories/part_2.html.

One wonders how much damning evidence is necessary to respond to what is now irrefutable
proof that CIA knew about the attacks and did not stop them. Whatever our government
is doing, whatever the CIA is doing, it is clearly NOT in the interests of the American
people, especially those who died on September 11.
